Two elders appeared, causing a stir among the Xu and Wang family members, "Aren’t these their War God level ancestors?"
The excitement of Xu Rui and Wang Lin at the scene was no less than that of Liu Wen. After all, even these direct descendants of the family rarely see their family’s War God level ancestors.
Following them, three more elders appeared, each resembling a figure from the realm of immortals, causing an uproar among the surrounding crowd, who were guessing the identities of these three. However, from the expressions of Xu Rui, Wang Lin, and Liu Wen, many had already deduced their connections.
"Three Mythical Realm beings!" an old man muttered, while Mei Huiling’s face turned more solemn, knowing that facing the three Mythical Realm entities was not something anyone could handle lightly.
These three were absolutely like living fossils in the Capital City, and even their own descendants mostly didn’t know of their existence.
Members of the Xu, Wang, and Liu families, the key figures of the four major families in the Capital City, paid their respects one by one, respectfully performing grand ceremonies toward their family’s War God level elders.
It was then that the surrounding people fully understood the significance of these three elders, who not only possessed astonishing strength but were also revered ancestors of great clans.
This news, like a storm, shocked the hearts of many.
Ma Lingling, puzzled, asked her father, "Why does each of the three great families have such an elder?"
Ma’s father gave a wry smile, but still explained, "The reason why the four great families of the Capital City are called such, do you think it’s just because they are powerful in terms of authority? You are mistaken. The main reason why the four great clans are powerful is that they have War God level figures backing them."
"If a family wants to stand at the pinnacle of Huaxia, it is impossible to compete without having a War God level figure."
"What about the Ye family? Why don’t we see the War God level from the Ye family?" continued Ma Lingling.
"The Ye family... The situation with the Ye family is quite special and not something that can be explained in a sentence or two," Ma’s father didn’t continue talking.
The appearance of the two elders stopped Ye Qiu and the Liu family’s War God level from clashing.
"What is the meaning of this? Are you trying to stop me?" the elder from the Liu family looked at the two and said indifferently.
"Liu the old oddity, are you getting more and more senile? This is a squabble between the younger generation; why are you interfering?"
"And to do it in front of so many people, isn’t that just embarrassing yourself?"
The two elders, playing good cop and bad cop, started talking about the elder from the Liu family.
The Liu family’s elder frowned, if it wasn’t because they were in the same realm and it was difficult to determine a winner, he really wanted to put these two old fools in their place.
After speaking, the two elders walked towards Ye Qiu, both smiling and saying, "Fellow Ye, we two are firmly on your side. Although we do not like old oddity Liu relying on his seniority, if you, Fellow Ye, could take action and teach him a lesson, it would indeed be a good method."

Ye Qiu was somewhat confused, not understanding what these two elders meant. Why they suddenly stood on his side so uneventfully. Just now, they had stopped him from clashing with the Liu family elder, but now they seemed to be encouraging it.
This statement not only baffled Ye Qiu, but even the Xu family and Wang family backing the two elders were shrouded in confusion, unable to comprehend how their family’s War God-level figure could be jesting and laughing with Ye Qiu, appearing nothing like the way they would treat a junior.
"Elder Ancestor, what are you doing? Our Wang family never thought about taking his side," Wang Lin stated, puzzled.
Xu Rui also wore a face full of doubt, unsure of what the War God-level in his family was planning.
"These two cunning guys actually called this young man a fellow Daoist..." The War God-level elder from the Liu family tightened his eyebrows, upon hearing the two elders’ conversation, he tensed up, knowing that the term ’fellow Daoist’ isn’t used lightly; it’s generally reserved for those who walk the same path and address each other with such respect.
In the world of Martial Artists, calling someone a fellow Daoist is neither rare nor common.
It’s usually between Martial Artists who have walked a certain distance on the path of martial arts and achieved some success, that they would refer to each other in this way.
But for these two old fellows to address Ye Qiu as a fellow Daoist was a bit too much!
In the eyes of the War God-level from Liu family, Ye Qiu was merely at the Legendary realm; how could he deserve to be called a fellow Daoist by these two?
"Could it be that these two old fellows are doing this on purpose? Setting a trap for me to fall into so they can reap the benefits?" pondered the War God-level elder of the Liu family, swiftly analyzing, "Or perhaps, this youngster has hidden his true strength and is actually a Mythic realm Martial Artist... No, that’s impossible, how could there be such a young Mythic realm? What exactly are these old fellows up to?"
The War God-level from Liu family was keen-minded, but from the elder’s words, he instantly analyzed much. Having lived to his age and enjoying inexhaustible wealth and glory, he cared little for these things; ever since entering the martial path, his heart was set on martial arts, viewing external material possessions lightly.
If it weren’t for the need to consider his family’s descendants in the Capital City, with his strength, he would have long found a place with lush mountains and waters to seclude himself and continue exploring the great martial arts.
The current situation had an air of peculiarity, and the War God-level elder from Liu family couldn’t stop guessing what these two old fellows were really planning.
The thoughts of the two War God-level elders from Wang family and Xu family standing by Ye Qiu were likely incomprehensible to others; only between them did they understand.
The reason they suddenly appeared to intervene was naturally to leave a good impression on Ye Qiu.
Why would they do so? It was because during the battle between Ye Qiu and the Sect Leader of Rakshasa, they were present as spectators and witnessed many of Ye Qiu’s techniques. He nearly defeated the Sect Leader of Rakshasa, and their assessment of Ye Qiu kept rising, even to the point where they were shocked to find that Ye Qiu, at the Legendary realm, seemed capable of rivalling a Mythic realm. This was indeed alarming.
What did this imply? This young man might possess the strength to fight across realms.
Such talent was extraordinary in their eyes, Ye Qiu was monstrous—not only had he reached the Legendary realm at such a young age, but he also possessed the strength to fight across realms. In less than ten years, he would certainly breakthrough to the Mythic realm, and by then, he would surely be a powerhouse among them.
Such a yet-to-mature Mythic realm figure, why not make connections now when else could they? Hence, they immediately intervened. As for instigating Ye Qiu to once again confront the elder from Liu family, it was more out of a mentality to stir up excitement, while also wanting to see if Ye Qiu truly possessed trans-tier strength.
After all, they left a good impression on Ye Qiu. If Ye Qiu and the elder from Liu family could really fight it out, that would be perfect.
Regardless of whether Ye Qiu won or lost, both of them had nothing to lose.
"Since you two have appeared, let’s stop here for today. I do not wish to cause too much turmoil," after much deliberation, the elder from Liu family decided not to make a move, because he always felt that the two old men opposite had bad intentions. Not making a move was better, it was time to go back and investigate this Ye Qiu, plus Wei Ziqing was seriously injured and needed his immediate attention for treatment.
Without further discussion, the elder from Liu family quickly left with Wei Ziqing, not giving Ye Qiu the chance to respond, and disappeared from sight.
